    No dude, it's not as simple as that. lol. Not in any way. They found missing mass, that's fine. I'm glad they did. There's a lot to find. They really did not -find- it, what they've been doing is refining estimates. I can tell you it's either that or the article that you read is complete...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Intergalactic dust is also not a new theory. The reason that I'm aware of for it not being favored is the the gravitational influence it exerts on galaxies is too strong for it to just be gas or mass ejections. It would take too much dust. That dust would be collapsing on itself. We would...

    It's really just a situation where Shatner doesn't know what's going on, he's created a story in his mind about what is going on, and he's not willing to spend 30 minutes to correct his own misinterpretation. It's not RLM at fault. It's the twitter brigade that decided to start harassing...

    Yeah, I'll admit the analogy is flawed. It's a bigger problem than just being fat. It's kinda like that but mostly not. And yep, it's not at all hard to believe that the police union accidentally fomented a revolution. I mean police unions exist in large part so that local officials couldn't...

    It's part of the solution. A bit self-evident on the face of it. If care is taken for the physical structures the community lives in and around it is a physical testament to the fact that the community cares about the way it presents itself. Even to itself. There is also an interaction like...

    The return on investment is horribly low. Social workers who aren't completely burnt out by the overwhelming rate of failure are a special sort. It's difficult to predict which people are worth investment, but those people do exist. And it's not just a person, it's a time too. You've got to...

    A basic application of parsimony forces me into option c). A and B require either 3 or 2 extra-ordinary claims to be true. C requires one extra-ordinary claim. That's not to say that A and B are necessarily false. Occams razor says that you should not over complicate equations. But some...

    Star Trek: Picard

    in television you're absolutely right. In books, there is a subclass of sci fi that is not fantasy and whose purpose is exactly to explore the social ramifications of futuristic ideas. Clarke wrote a lot of that. It's really hard to make interesting.

    I aall liked enterprise. They had episodes here and there that felt like actual trek episodes. And a horny vulcan. The time war stuff was aids. Leave that for Dr who. That show is better at it.

    Well, if it hurt mikes feeling that Shatner called him silly that essay must have straight gutted him! Good lord. That was awful. And i didn't read more than 2 paragraphs of it. That was already too much. At least Mike can now claim to have been in a pissing contest with Captain Kirk.

    The ezri / bashir / worf stuff all made sense, but it really didn't need to be given as much time as it was. Even for DS9 where it was more acceptable it got too soap operaish.

    Funeral Advice

    Sorry to hear it big jx3. If you have anything left of value to give away, do it before you can't any longer. If you haven't already done a living will, type one out (you can find them online for your state) and appoint an executor. I imagine you've already done both of those things, but if...

    Mike is the most cerebral one. Jay has a real passion for it... but Jay's passion is for real B movies and bottom of the barrel horror kind of crap. Even jack has a passion for his work, but he's a video editor. That's not exactly exciting to watch or talk about. Rich... yeah, I think he's...

    I think it's because their instinct is to hunt fresh meat, and get their water out of blood. I doubt that's technically true, but it's probably part of why cats thirst response seems to be muted.

    Yeah. Cats tend to be permanently dehydrated. Renal failure is the #2 killer of cats behind cars. There are a few tricks. In general, every cat has their own preference, cats prefer to drink running water to still water. I will let mine drink out of the kitchen tap. Turn it on low give her...

    Tos is cheesy, but if you watch any television from the 60s it's cheesy. Half the episodes are forgettable, immediately. But there is a core of episodes that are not. They break through the cheese into good. And there are a handful of those that to into iconic. When people talk about tos...

    They didn't shift far right. The left drove 500mph straight into unapologetic open marxism. I think hrt for children was mostly what did it. and the race pandering from obama. The combination of those two things. More than anything else, that soured liberals our age on modern liberalism...

    The Shat has no patience for this bullshit. And he's like 80, been dealing with that for more than half his life like arbi says. Do you blame shat? Also, the Shat is something of a raging narcissist. And the RLM guys get it. Mike knows he's way way below the notice of The Shat... so would...

    Nah, natural birth. I was just really dedicated to that shifty joke. I doubt the fluid is the thing, myself too. It's the system stress of being forced down the birth canal.
